This book offers a coherent view on agri-food supply chains by discussing the possibilities and limitations of quantifying performance, risks and investments in the agri-food chain. A wide variety of approaches was used to analyze the complex systems of agri-food supply chains and develop appropriate models for management decision support. Research gaps and discussion points are identified by an international forum of researchers.

Dynamics in chains and networks
"Companies in food- and agribusiness chains and networks are facing ever-faster changes in the business environment, to which they must respond through continuous innovation. Societal concerns regarding animal welfare and environmental issues have to be met in a very competitive, increasingly global environment. The growing concern of consumers regarding the quality, traceability and environmental friendliness of products and processes call for fundamentally new ways of developing, producing and marketing products. New ways of organizing food supply networks, with new ties between firms and even between formerly separate sectors -such as the health and the food sector- are needed to cope with these new demands. This publication focusses on the dynamic response to these changes in chains and networks. Important topics include among others: critical success factors for design and control of innovative chains and networks, globalization of the business environment, effects of institutional and policy change, governance structures, technologies for managing interaction and design of information architectures for chains and networks."

Professionalisierung im Nonprofit Management
Der Band betrachtet Nonprofit Management unter einem professionstheoretischen Blickwinkel. Ökonomisierungsdruck und erhöhte Koordinationsanforderungen im sozialen Dienstleistungssektor führen zu einem Bedeutungszuwachs von Management im Nonprofit Sektor. Dieser interdisziplinäre Band diskutiert empirische Erträge und konzeptionelle Überlegungen zur Professionalisierung des Nonprofit Managements: Welche Formen des ‚professionellen’ Managements zeichnen sich im Nonprofit Sektor bereits ab? Welche Kompetenzen haben und brauchen Führungs- und Leitungskräfte im Nonprofit-Sektor in Zukunft? Muss Professionalisierung von Nonprofit-Management als ständiger Anpassungsprozess an der Schnittstelle von Organisationsentwicklung, Innovation und wertorientierter Bedarfsanpassung rekonstruiert werden?
Strategic Innovation in Russia
This book presents a radically different approach to innovation aimed at creating new growth cycles for the Russian economy. To better grasp the opportunities hidden behind worldwide megatrends, such as the growing economic prosperity of Asian countries and the importance of the internet-based economy, the authors argue for a reinvention of Russia’s innovation strategy. Instead of a purely technology-driven approach, the authors illustrate how the principles of strategic innovation help develop institutional and non-technical innovation, as well as new forms of leadership and entrepreneurship within the Russian business culture. The authors also discuss the impact of strategic innovation on corporate strategies, innovation and economic policy, as well as academic research and development agendas. The book also sheds new light on how cooperation between Russia and the EU, the US and China in the area of innovation can be of mutual benefit.
Successes in African Agriculture
SubSaharan Africa is one of the poorest regions of the world. Because most Africans work in agriculture, escaping such dire poverty depends on increased agricultural productivity to raise rural incomes, lower food prices, and stimulate growth in other economic sectors. Per capita agricultural production in subSaharan Africa has fallen, however, for much of the past halfcentury. Successes in African Agriculture investigates how to reverse this decline. Instead of cataloging failures, as many past studies have done, this book identifies episodes of successful agricultural growth in Africa and identifies processes, practices, and policies for accelerated growth in the future. The individu...
